1 Ngizakudumisa, Oh Thixo, ngenhliziyo yami yonke;
ngizafakaza ngazozonke izimangaliso zakho.
2 Ngizathokoza ngijabule ngawe,
ngizahlabelela indumiso egameni lakho,
wena oPhezukonke.
3 Izitha zami ziyafulathela zibaleke;
ziyakhubeka zitshabalale phambi kwakho.
4 Ngoba ulisekele ilungelo lami;
usuhlalile esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi
wahlulela kakuhle.
5 Uzikhuzile izizwe,
wababhubhisa ababi;
wawesula amabizo abo
kuze kube nini lanini.
6 Ukubhidlika okungapheliyo kusehlele isitha sami,
wawasiphuna amadolobho aso;
lokukhunjulwa kwaso sekuphele nya.
7 UThixo uyabusa kuze kube nininini;
usesimisile isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi ukuze ahlulele.
8 Uzabusa umhlaba ngokulunga
njalo uzakwahlulela abantu ngokufaneleyo.
9 UThixo uyisiphephelo sabancindezelweyo,
uyinqaba ezikhathini zokuhlupheka.
10 Labo abalaziyo ibizo lakho bazathemba kuwe,
ngoba wena, Thixo, kawubafulatheli abakudingayo.
11 Hlabelelani indumiso kuThixo esebukhosini eZiyoni;
fakazani phakathi kwezizwe
ngalokho akwenzileyo.
12 Ngoba yena ophindiselayo kulowo ochitha igazi uyakhumbula;
akakudeli ukukhala kwabahlukuluzwayo.
13 Oh Thixo, ake ubone ukuthi izitha zami zingichukuluza njani!
Yiba lesihawu ungenyule emasangweni okufa,
14 ukuze ngifakaze indumiso yakho
emasangweni eNdodakazi yaseZiyoni
kuthi khonale ngithokoze
ngokusindisa kwakho.
15 Izizwe ziwele emgodini eziwumbileyo;
inyawo zazo zibanjwe emambuleni eziwathiyileyo.
16 UThixo waziwa ngokwahlulela kwakhe okulungileyo;
ababi babanjwa yizenzo zezandla zabo.
17 Ababi babuyela engcwabeni,
zonke izizwe ezikhohlwa uNkulunkulu.
18 Kodwa abaswelayo kabayikukhohlakala kokuphela,
njalo lethemba labahlukuluzwayo kaliyikutshabalala.
19 Vuka Thixo, ungayekeli umuntu anqobe;
akuthi izizwe zahlulelwe phambi kwakho.
20 Batshayise ngovalo, Oh Thixo;
akuthi izizwe zikwazi ukuthi zingabantu nje.
